Infection rate does not matter , as much testing is done so more infection detected . thankfully now recovery rate is much higher . may May Allah be with the family of these dead ! May be give them strength!@UKBengali


Meanwhile, 252 patients of Covid-19 have recovered around the country in the last 24 hours. The total recovery number stands at 2,902 and recovery rate is at 18.52 percent now, the DGHS official said.

Yes and no need to be alarmed over new infections as over 7200 people were tested in the last 24 hours.

The all important positives/tests is still within the 10-15% range which means the virus is not spreading out of control.

The number of deaths is stabilised at the 10 mark median over the last month and hundreds of people are recovering from the virus every day now.

PS - Although there is no 100% certainty with this, I think another reason why the deaths have remained relatively low is that people in BD are getting a low dose of the virus when they become infected and so the virus has less of an effect of them. The heat, sun and the rising humidity is rapidly degrading the virus once it leaves a human host.

Correct , also no need to read news headlines that much as their damn click bait headlines only make people frustrated , and that can be harmful for immune system .

Actually Infection rate does not matter . TBH if you need herd immunity , more people need to be infected . The main advantage is death rate are Alhamdulillah under control ( although every single death is very painful and losses are great , only they know the real pain who lost their own people), so if even infection rate increase and death rate does not increase or reduce , then it's actually a great sign .

The number of deaths is stabilised at the 10 mark median over the last month and hundreds of people are recovering from the virus every day now.

Inshallah the rate will be reduced soon . So if infected people do not die , then it's actually success to the road of herd immunity !

Exactly .

We do not yet know whether "herd immunity" can exist for this virus as no-one knows whether once you get it whether you will get it again.

I still think we need to be careful about the infection rate running out of control as we do not want too many elderly(70+) people getting the virus. Remember it is also very important that hospitals do not get overwhelmed with too many sick people at any one time.

"Herd immunity" is a massive massive risk, For one thing you need a world class health system with tens of thousands of ICU facilities second to none at the moment to even think of such a method to cope with the numbers, Which all of us know that doesn't exist in any developing nation let alone Bangladesh

Hunger is more massive risk . TBH lock down is for elites who have no tension of money . But poor people prefer their daily breads more than the luxurious lock down . But I do not expect that you are going to agree with me , nor my expat compatriots will do. Life of common folks in Bangladesh is not as luxury as some of our compatriots believe . Also Bangladesh govt can not solve all problem that caused by lock down , it's not so rich . Bangladesh is developing at a good pace no doubt , but it's not California/Los Angels as our Impotent minister claim.

So instead of speaking as a selfish person I speak for common poor folks as I always live in reality . Lockdown and other theory will not going to fill belly of these people who neither can close their small business , nor can stand on a line to take relief. They are bound to pay house rent and shop rent . people who have private job with low salary are at risk of becoming jobless .

In theory you can say that house owners should forced by govt not to take their house rent . But all house owners are not rich , they live on their rent money , some people has huge amount of bank loan and they pay all loan from their rent income . So if such decision is taken by govt it will affect them massively .

So the luxury of lock down have no value in their life . Truth bites I know , but this is the reality . majority can not remain hungry or needy only to make the life of rich more safer more luxurious. So lock down for poor a poor country is just bulls.hit . Many more people die without coronavirus but that never make an issue , as rich people have money to visit Singapore to get better medical service, while poor ( they even can not dream of Singapore , let alone fly there to get medical service) always die in govt hospitals ( in Bangladesh) that are although much developed comparing the era of pure democracy ( 2001-2006 ) , still not sufficient to provide proper medical service to people.

Let the rich stay at home , let the poor, lower middle class or other middle class people choose their own fate .

@bluesky , if you really believe that you are neutral , realistic, truthful, and sincere , I think perhaps it's time to write some realistic and sincere opinion about lock down and it's long term effect in Bangladesh ( my apologies if you already wrote butI missed them ) .

Opening up the country need to be done is stages that can be better managed, Till then it's the govt prerogative to provide essentials for the population.. If not you will have to face disastrous consequences, Heard immunity is not suitable for highly densely populated communities like Bangladesh, You health care system simply cant cope with the numbers

According to this report even within the region Bangladesh is worse off in healthcare

About the business related to the medicine . This article suggest that it's production cost is no more than 9 usd mean 765 taka ( USDis 85 BDT). So including their profit I think the medicine should cost 1000 /1100 tk ( or highest 1500 tk ) instead of 5000/6000 tk . It's too unfortunate that the companies want to suck public blood even during the pandemic . Bangladesh govt should take care of it.

Well it's not like there are lots of options when it comes to getting Remdesivir, even in cheap generic form.

But I do agree, Govt. should fix the price down to the price of ingredients and add admin.+production costs.

The companies producing the drug should definitely not be profiteering at this time for local use.

For export they can add some premium.
